La Ama de Casa, synonymous with La Abuelita, is an older Catholic Latina woman, mother of a huge household. Rooted in tradition, Ama de Casa seeks order and sets the rules. She feels like home. She teaches you fear. She teaches you kindness. She is the push and pull between moral and religious rigidity, and round welcoming femininity. She is the “Mother of the House” and instills so much in Latina culture, she is the keeper of tradition. This solo delves into the three dimensional human being behind La Ama de Casa: her story, told by her. Through this we are able to see the pain, joy, loss, and love that shaped our culture.
